So what's the final verdict on the bases-loaded, two-out home run over the fence in the bottom of the ninth with the score tied if the runner from 1B misses 2B? Batter touches 1B, runner from 3B touches home. If the runner from 1B is out on appeal for missing 2B, does the run from 3B score to win the game or not?
Apparently the run would not score in Fed. What about OBR (and NCAA)?

Mule:
I don't understand what the discussion is about, as is my wont with your posts.
The out comes on appeal.
It is a force out.
It is the third out.
No runs score. Not in FED, NCAA, OBR. Not in the US, the Domincan, Japan. Not never no where no time no how.
Listen, carefully: The rule at 4.09 distinguishes between two kinds of plays:
(1) runners that score after a batted ball;
(2) runners that score after an award where the ball did not go into play: (base on balls, hit by pitch, catcher's interference).
In (1) ALL runners must advance and touch the next force base.
In (2) only B1 and R3 must advance.
What part of that very simple situation don't you understand?
Only in OBR is the rule different concerning awards where the ball is not put in play.
And even then it would not affect whether a run scored or not.
Play: Bottom of the last inning, score tied, R2, R3, 2 out. B1 singles and touches first. R3 touches home. R2 peels around and goes to his first base dugout.
Who cares? The game is already over. He is not FORCED to touch third.
Give it up!
